FAQs

What type of cookware do I need for this induction hob?

You need cookware with a magnetic base. This includes cast iron, steel, and some stainless steel pans. You can test your existing pans by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom.

How do I activate the Booster function?

The Booster function is typically activated by pressing a dedicated button or by selecting the highest power setting for a sustained period, depending on the specific control interface. Refer to your user manual for precise instructions.

Is the glass surface safe when the hob is hot?

The hob features a hot surface indicator light that illuminates when a cooking zone is still hot after use, even if it's turned off. It's advised to avoid touching the surface until the indicator light has gone out.

How long is the warranty period?

The hob comes with a 1-year guarantee, with an additional year provided upon product registration. This offers a total of two years of warranty coverage.

Can I use aluminum or copper pans on this hob?

Standard aluminum or copper pans without a magnetic base layer are not compatible with induction hobs. Only use pans specifically designed for induction cooking or those confirmed to be magnetic.

How do I clean the hob surface?

Wipe the cooled surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a specialized non-abrasive hob cleaner. Always ensure the surface is dry before next use.

What are the dimensions of the hob?

The hob dimensions are approximately (H)6 cm x (W)77 cm x (D)52 cm.

Troubleshooting

Hob not turning on

Ensure the hob is properly connected to the power supply. Check that the circuit breaker or fuse for the hob has not tripped. Verify that the child lock is not engaged (refer to the manual for deactivation).

Error code displayed on the control panel

Consult the product manual for a specific list of error codes and their meanings. Common codes may relate to cookware detection or overheating; ensure correct cookware is used and ventilation is clear.

Pan not heating or heating inconsistently

Confirm that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the pan is centered on the cooking zone and has a flat base. Check for any debris between the pan and the hob surface.

Surface seems scratched

Induction hobs are designed with durable glass, but deep scratches can occur from dragging heavy or rough-bottomed cookware. Use only appropriate cookware and avoid sliding pans across the surface. Minor scuffs may be reduced with a specific glass hob cleaner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Multiple cooking zones provide flexibility for preparing various dishes simultaneously.
  • Precise power level control allows for a wide range of cooking techniques.
  • Booster function significantly reduces cooking time for tasks like boiling water.
  • Intuitive slider controls make temperature adjustments quick and easy.
  • Safety features like the hot surface indicator and child lock are beneficial for families.
  • Easy-clean surface minimizes post-cooking maintenance.

Cons

  • Requires induction-compatible cookware, which may necessitate purchasing new pans.
  • The booster function power levels may vary slightly from advertised maximums.
  • A 77cm width might require specific countertop cutouts.
  • Reliance on slider controls might have a learning curve for some users.
  • 11kg weight indicates it's a substantial appliance needing secure installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of this induction hob should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure it is correctly wired and safely integrated into your kitchen cabinetry. Ensure adequate ventilation is provided around the unit as per the installation manual.

Compatibility: This induction hob requires cookware made from magnetic metals such as cast iron, steel, or enamel-coated steel. To test if your existing pans are compatible, place a magnet on the base; if it sticks firmly, the pan will work with this induction hob. Pans with aluminum or copper bases may not be compatible unless they have a specific induction layer.

Care: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive hob cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or glass surfaces. Avoid using abrasive pads, scouring powders, or sharp objects, as these can scratch the surface. Regularly check the underside of cookware for debris that could scratch the hob surface during use.
